Request for specimens

Please consider helping Sam to obtain specimens for his study.

"My name is Sam Peta, MSc student with the Measey Lab (Centre for Invasion Biology, Stellenbosch University). I am working on a project to understand the trophic interaction of the Guttural Toad (what the toad eats and what eats the toad) in both KZN and Cape Town. I cordially request your assistance notify me (sampeta@sun.ac.za/ +27 76 829 8681) if you come across roadkill any of the following species:
Snouted Cobra,
Rhombic Night Adder,
Mozambican Spitting Cobra,
Herald Snake,
Hamerkop,
Rinkhals,
Brown Forest Cobra,
Black-Necked Spitting Cobra,
Southern Ground Hornbill,
Woolly-Necked Stork,
Woodland Kingfisher,
African civet
(Only in KZN and Cape Town).

I just need muscle tissue from the above-mentioned species to run stable isotope analysis. You can cut a small chunk of muscle tissue of the roadkill species and store it in table salt - with the label (species ID, date and time of collection) and I will arrange courier collection at your respective place. I would appreciate your help with this."
